Article Synopsis
- Adherence to cardiovascular prevention guidelines is linked to better patient outcomes, but there is a lack of research on how well cardiologists follow these guidelines compared to general practitioners.
- A review of outpatient clinic notes from 2,503 patients over a two-month period revealed that many cardiologists are not fully adhering to guidelines, with only 39% achieving optimal low-density lipoprotein control and 34% with optimal heart failure treatment.
- Discussions around lifestyle changes were inconsistent, with high rates for smoking (91%) but very low rates for diet (16%), indicating a need for improved strategies to comply with guidelines for patient care.

Recent Findings: Ibrutinib increases the risk of atrial fibrillation, bleeding, and hypertension compared with non-BTKI therapies. The evidence to support an association between ibrutinib and other cardiovascular complications including ventricular tachyarrhythmias or cardiomyopathy is limited.
